jubeat ripples

[TrueFSX]

Japanese sequel to jubeat.

It fits the Konami pattern of throwing out installments REALLY FAST for new games.

Discuss.

Yeah, loctest information has already been released.

Sounds good to me. I'm glad it was successful enough to warrant a sequel.

I just hope that you won't have to practically grind for new songs this time around.

Man, already?? Perhaps they've thought of more stuff they could add (except for songs). Perhaps there could be "holds"?

It's a rather interesting theme. I wonder how many songs from the original (aside from, say, the licenses) will be on the 2nd jubeat.

Comments:
I really don't like that license list so far, which is a shame, because I loved the first Jubeat's licenses.

LOL@Kiss Kiss being the only song removed. See Chris Brown? Beat the shit out of your girlfriend and you get taken out of Japanese touch-panel games.

Any word on who's the music director (seeing as Mutsuhiko Izumi not only made a bunch of songs for the last one, he also was the MD)?

Seems all the diff. changes were decreases.

I'm actually surprised that only 1 song has been removed. Perhaps Konami has permission to have the licenses in the 2nd game (considering how fast the sequel is coming).

OMFG!!! Robot Honey!!! I was waiting for that song on the next DDR but I'm quite happy, I love it!!!

[zonic505]

Z-I-V has also discovered that a new marker has been added & you can now sort the songs to either Default, Level, Version, or Score.

[Spiritsnare]

I'm rather surprised Polyrhythm isn't there.

Haha serves him right for being a bad boy (literally )

Anyhow, I'm surprised that some song got a difficulty downgrade though it's kinda understandable (though that means that there is no level 10 song yet then). Bah, who knows, maybe there'll be a new one soon enough.

P.S.
Though as shocking to some, there is already a sequel coming out soon........yet the original game itself is still not released in Western markets.

[kannazuki]

lol I don't think what happens to uBeat affects jubeat since jubeat is really popular in Japan and that's all that matters for that series.

Ewwww, they had to pick the Aira Mitsuki song with the really bad mastering on it. Still, could have been worse... but then again this probably isn't the full song list so we'll see. Hopefully

evans by yoshitaka is still a 10

[zonic505]

Area51 & Russion Snowy Dance (the 2 KOs at the test location) are both 10s.
